Blood work

Hey, Has anyone had any blood work done and if so what were your results? I just had blood work done yesterday and am curiously and anxiously waiting for my results. Just wanted someone else's to compare mine to. Thanks in advance.

I just went for my second round. Will get the results on Monday. My first round, my protein was low, but I read up on the test for pre-albumin and it only measures what you have eaten in the past day or so, and well the day prior to my test I threw up all day. My other levels are all good.

Hi Ruth! My first set came back all normal, and that was during the time I wasn't able to eat much because of my esophagus being restricted. I just worked really hard at making sure the food I WAS able to get down was protein. I also never missed my vitamins and supplements. I just had my three month check-up today! I will know the results of those tests sometime next week. I got a clean bill of health from my surgeon, nutritionist and my nurse educator. During this process I've exercised on a regular basis and it's proven to be a very wise decision. My lean body mass has not dropped much at all even with all the eating problems I had between week 2 and week 9. What they all told me today is that I've lost loads of fat and very little lean muscle mass. WOOOOHOOOOO!! I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing and life will be good. LOL. Keep us posted on your results ok? God bless! Brenda

I just had 12 tubes of blood drawn yesterday and should have this results this coming week. I'm definitely curious to see the numbers, especially cholesterol because I was borderline high before.

at my 4 weeks bw my Iron was xtrememely low, so I had to go on 325mg ferrous sulfate 2 x day. this past month my bw was much much better and now I am on 1 sulfate once day. Good luck everyone...

I just had my 3 month appt. My labs came back great. My cholesterol went from 201 to 149. I was shocked! The doc didn't really go into to much detail because he said everything looked good and for me to continue doing what I was doing.

I hear about everyone having blood work at least 3 mo post op but my doc wants me to have bloodwork 6 month post op. I had some bloodwork on tuesday for potassium levels for my OB related to new birth control pill. So i am a little concerned although I check my sugars at home and they are low. so I will go in Jan for bloodwork.

Hi Jennifer, Did you have to fast before you had your blood work done? Thanks, LaVonn
